    Polish Republic was proclaimed at November 11 1918 by Joseph Pilsudsky. At 1919 Poland Got a part of German territory. During the November 1918 - June 1919 Poland was in war with Western-Ukrainian Peoples Republic and won.
    At January 1919 - March 1921 Poland was in war with Russia and lost about 60000 soldiers, but won (at the same time the Civil War was in Russia). After that Poland got Western Ukraine and Western Belarus. Russia lost about 100000 soldiers (60000 of them are died in a concentration camps from hunger, as a prisoners of war).
    During the next 5 years a political situation in Poland was not simple and calm. Many of political parties struggled for the power in Poland.
    At 1926 Joseph Pilsudsky became the Polish ruler. He was a strong and popular ruler. But not-democratic.
    Many of oppositional politicians was arrested and directed at concentration camp.
    But it was the compulsory measure which has cleared the country from traitors.

    So, Joseph Pilsudsky was the greatest Polish ruler at XXth century. During his presidency Poland became a strong country. But after his death (May 12 1935) Poland got a weak rulers. A Polish policy became a rather irrational. For example: when Hitler occupied Czechoslovakia at 1938, Polish troops occupied a part of Czech territory too (October 1938).
    At September 1939 Hitler's troops attacked Poland. Polish soldiers was strong and brave - they heroically battled against fascists.
    But the Polish commanders weren't ready to modern war. They have underestimated power of Wehrmacht. The Polish army has been compelled to recede.
    Besides, on September, 17, 1939 USSR attacked Poland too (the main reason of that attack was the desire to return the Western Ukraine and Belarus to Russia).
    And Republic of Poland was annuled.
    It's very interesting and main thread for me, 'cos I have a Russian and Polish roots.

    Until the 1924 a currency of Poland was mark. Since 1924 a zloty became the new currency.

    Thanks for the info. I have the last two 10 Xlotych silver coins you posted. I like the 2-Zlotych and 5-Zlotych coins which depict the sailing ship. I will be looking to get one of those for my collection now.
